Question

Anita put $\frac{1}{4}$ cup of flour in a bowl.Meena mixed $\frac{1}{6}$ cup of flour in it.How much more flour should Arti mix in it equal to $1$ cup of flour?

Answer 1

Anita put ${\frac{1}{4}}^{th}$ cup of flour in a bowl.

Meena put ${\frac{1}{6}}^{th}$ cup of flour.

Total quantity of flour mixed$=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{6+4}{24}=\frac{10}{24}=\frac{5}{12}$

Arti mixes flour to get $1$ cup of flour$=1-\frac{5}{12}=\frac{12}{12}-\frac{5}{12}=\frac{12-5}{12}=\frac{7}{12}$

$\therefore {\frac{7}{12}}^{th}$ cup of flour is mixed.
